Govt official: Outcome of opposition primary irrelevant
Change language:
The outcome of the opposition’s prime ministerial primary is irrelevant because the balance of power among Hungary’s political parties is determined by how many seats they each hold in parliament, a government official told the Saturday edition of the daily Magyar Nemzet.
The outcome of the first round of the primary shows that the Democratic Coalition (DK) will be the biggest party among those in the opposition today, Csaba Dömötör, a Prime Minister’s Office parliamentary state secretary, told the paper.
“This means that it doesn’t matter whom they put on display because DK will still be the one calling the shots,” he said. “It’s still the old guard vying for power.”
Commenting on Péter Márki-Zay, leader of the Everyone’s Hungary Movement (MMM), Dömötör said the only way he could be the left’s prime ministerial candidate without a party and fellow MPs was if he made a pact with the left, “and it very much appears that he has”. He said that though Márki-Zay identified as a conservative, “he talks and acts like a left-wing politician, and has nothing to do with the right.”
“But the situation in Budapest has shown that the decade-long work of millions of Hungarians can be undone in just a single year,”
Very true!
We have seen it happen in America. Never in my worst nightmare did I envision such destruction of America as we have seen since Biden and his America hating democrats stole the election from President Trump. Biden’s democrats brand American patriots terrorists for opposing their lunacy.
We will not let it happen in Hungary.
